The Balearics offers miles of beach, beautiful scenery and a vibrant nightlife. Take an excursion to the islands of Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera and experience the splendour of these unique areas. The four main islands that make up the Balearics are wonderfully diverse. Beneath the towering mountains of Mallorca you’ll find dazzling whitewashed villas and fine restaurants filled with friendly locals and celebrities, while Ibiza’s old town is the place to head to join the bustling jet-set crowd in the early hours.
During the day, enjoy the tranquillity of the sea and the calm offshore breezes and during the night, take pleasure in the music bars, discothèques, and Spanish tapas at the local restaurant.
From Ibiza depart for the lovely island of Formentera to spend the day snorkeling and swimming in quiet comfort. Return to Ibiza and plunge into a night of its world-famous nightlife.
Enjoy Ibiza's many attractions: Charming churches, prehistoric wall-paintings in the Ses Fontelles cave, an ancient Carthaginian temple in the Cueva de Es Cuieram cave, and the exquisite turquoise waters of the Cala d'en Serra cove, which is ideal for snorkeling, jet skiing or windsurfing among the dolphins. Depart for Mallorca at the end of the day and stop by the islets off its south coast, with their quiet anchorages and sandy beaches.
Old Palma de Mallorca is an intriguing mesh of gothic, Romanesque and Moorish influences, including La Seu Cathedral and several great palaces. The nearby resort town Porto Cristo features excellent restaurants and shops as well as the wonderful Coves del Drac (Dragon Caves) with their subterranean lake.
Mahon, the principal port of Menorca, will let you admire 18th-century British buildings and the lovely Santa Maria church downtown.
The beautiful natural harbour of Sóller de Mallorca is surrounded by the spectacular mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana, whose foothills are covered with lemon and orange groves. Art lovers may want to hire a car and visit the Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa, where Sand, Chopin and Borges spent some time.
